Scores of veterans are now home from Iraq and Afghanistan. They are coming to the VFW looking for help ... and we’re already struggling to serve the thousands of veterans from previous conflicts who also need us. But if we can count on your support, we’ll never have to turn a veteran away. With your help, we can say “Yes” to every veteran who needs us. The cost of war extends far beyond the battlefield. As a veteran yourself, I know you believe this in your heart to be true. And I am deeply grateful for it. We owe our fellow veterans an immeasurable debt of respect and support. I hope you’ll join with me and other VFW members in displaying the United States flag on all patriotic holidays as a meaningful gesture of that respect and support today. It’s a powerful way to show you support our veterans and service members. You can visit heroes.vfw.org/flag and print a free flag poster for you to display at your home. We must remember our brothers and sisters killed in action, and we must also reflect on the living veterans who bear the physical and emotional scars of war. As I let you know in my last letter, more than 3.9 million veterans have a service-connected disability.
